Romans 3
1 Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision?
Pwu Myahudi ikhava khehi? Ukhukhekhetiwa khwikhava khehii?
2 Much in every way. Because first of all, they were entrusted with the oracles of God.
Lononu fincho khela njela. Khuvwutengulilo, avayahudi vapevilwe ulovonekhelo ukhukhuma khwa Nguluve.
3 For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?
Pwu yayiva ndeti ingave Avayahudi avange valevovole ulwedekho? ukhu sitakhwedekha khwavene khukhokhovekha uvugolofu wa Nguluve ukhuva vovivi?
4 Absolutely not. Let God be found true, but every human being a liar. As it is written, "That you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you judge."
Ate padebe, ulwa khuva, nndekhe Nguluve avonekhe ukhuta va yelweli, ndayeve khela munu nn'desi. Ingave umuyasimbiwe, “Ukhuta pwu uvonekhe ukhuva ulevayelweli mu mamenyu gaakho, ukhulotelela vwuvukhwingela pa vukhegi.
5 But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? (I am speaking in human terms).
Engave imbivi nchetu nchivonesya elweli eya Nguluve, pwu tute khekhi? uNguluve si mbivi vwu ikhumya elyoyo lya mwene khukhuta ale evo? Ninchova ukhukhumana na lweli yavwu munu.
6 Absolutely not. For then how will God judge the world?
Ate! ndakhekhi u Nguluve umuyakhiva ikhikhekhega ekhilunga?
7 For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
Engave lweli ya Nguluve ukhugendela uvwodesi vwango ikhumia ulwiginio khu mwene, khekhi nipi khegiwa ndu ntula nongwa?
8 And Why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), "Let us do evil, that good may come?" Their condemnation is just.
Khekhi tunchove ndu vovya tudeteliwa na avange vikhwedekhana ukhuta twinchova, “Tuvombe imbivi, pwu ginche amananu? Uvukhegi khuvene vwa yelweli.
9 What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin.
Khenu khehi? Ukhwetetela yofwe? Losikhuli, ulwa khuva ufwe tuvadetile avayahudi na Wayunani voni paninie, ukhuta vale pasi pa mbivi.
10 As it is written, "There is no one righteous; no, not one."
Ele ndavovwalesimbiwe: Asikhiwi uvayelweli, nu uve aliyumo.
11 "There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.
Asikhuli umunu yuywa ikhweliwa. Asikhuli umunu uveikhondonda u Nguluve.
12 They have all turned aside. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, there is not even one."
Voni vasyetwikhe, voni paninie wakhosinche ulwedekhano. Asikhuli uveivomba inonu na aleomo.
13 "Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit." "Viper's poison is under their lips;"
Emisingo gya vene vuguli uvole mwanchi. Indimi incha vene nchidetile, ugoda gwa njokha guli pasi mumilomo gya vene.
14 "Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness."
Emilomo gya vene gedekhile ulukhoto nu luvavo.
15 "Their feet are swift to shed blood.
Amalunde ga vene ginyilela ukhududa ukhisa.
16 Destruction and calamity are in their paths.
Uvunangi nu vukhuvilwa filimnjila ncha vene.
17 The way of peace, they have not known."
Avanu ava savayemanyile enjela ya lweli.
18 "There is no fear of God before their eyes."
Lusimuli uludwado lwa Nguluve pa mikho gavo.”
19 Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.
Leno tulumanyile ukhuta khyokyoni ekhenchoviwa nu lulagelo, khinchova khuvavo valepasi palulagilo pwu khela ndomo gudendiwe, pwu ekhelunga khyoni khendondage u Nguluve.
20 Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
Ulwa khuva gusipali umbeli uguyakheva guvaleliwa vwa yelweli khu mbombo ncha lulagelo khu mwene. Ulwa khuva ukhugendela mu lukhwincha ulukhala lwa mbivi.
21 But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the Law and the Prophets;
Ulwa khuva leno bila lulagelo, elweli ya Nguluve yemanyikhikhe, yavonikhe khululagelo lwa vanya malango.
22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. For there is no distinction,
Eye yu lweli ya Nguluve ukhugendela elweli eya Yesu klisite khuvavo vikhumwedekha.
23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
Ulwa khuva voni vavombile imbivi nu khuva nu uvuvalanche vudebe uvwa Nguluve.
24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;
Vavaleliwe uvwayelweli vulevule khu lukhungu lwa mwene khu njila iya vupokhi vuvwa vule mwa Klisite Yesu.
25 whom God set forth whom God displayed publicly as a mercy seat, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness, because in God's forbearance he had passed over the sins previously committed;
Ulwa khuva u Nguluve ang'ominche u Klisite Yesu ave lusayano khu njila ya yelweli mu nkhisa gwa mwene. Ang'ominshe Klisite ndu ntangeli va yelweli eya mwene, ukhunchisye khela inongwa inchilutile.
26 to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time, so that he would be just, and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.
Pa khwiyumilincha pamwene aga gone gakhumile pwu elweli ya mwene yevonekhe khu misekhe ege. Eye yale pwu ivonesye uvwa yelweli vwa mwene, pwu livonekhe ukhuta ikhombalela umunu alavenchaga elweli mwa Klisite.
27 Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what manner of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
Pwu khulindakhu ukhwiginia? khulekhekhine khu mbombo ilekhu? Ulutu lwa mbombo? Ate, ulutu lwa yelweli.
28 For we maintain that one is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
Pwu tumalela ukhuta umunu ivaleliwa elweli khu luhungu hetavomba imbombo incha lulagilo.
29 Or is God for Jews only? Is he not the God of the non-Jews also? Yes, of the non-Jews also,
Tute uNguluve avile Nguluve va Wayahudi vene? Umwene savile Nguluve va vanu va khilunga khyoni? Eena va khilunga khyoni.
30 since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith.
Yengave ya lweli u Nguluve aleyomo, alavavalela elweli avakhekhetiwe huluhungu, na vavo savakhekhetiwe khu njila eya luhungu.
31 Do we then nullify the law through faith? Absolutely not. No, we establish the law.
Pwu ufwe tukhulwandula ululagilo lwa luhungu, ate ufwe tukhulwedekha ululagilo.
